8 Actually Good Things That Happened This Week

To say it’s been a rough week is an understatement — it would be more accurate to say it’s been the sort of week that makes any sane person consider signing up for Mars One. But not all news was bad news, so here are eight legitimately good things that happened this week.

1. This giant panda did yoga. A panda at Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center in China started its morning off in downward dog … then quickly transitioned into child’s pose.

7. Pasta might not make you fat. Researchers found no link between pasta consumption and obesity. (It turns out the study was partially funded by a pasta company, but I am choosing to ignore that fact.)

8. Justin Trudeau had a really, really good time at Pride. I wish I loved anything as much as the Canadian prime minister loved this parade.
